There
is actually a growing interest in the use of lasers in the educational process,
both in chemical and physical undergraduate laboratories. Students are
fascinated by the idea of lasers. Students undertaken projects involving lasers
absorb one why or another the key feature of a variety of areas such as
spectroscopy, kinetics and quantum mechanics
In
this project students will investigate organometallic compound to determine
spectroscopic constants namely dissociation constants and vibrational
frequencies and also study biological molecules thoroughly through their
chemical reactivities. The ultimate goal is to give students the opportunity to
have hands on experience in a research lab environment
Theoretical studies of compounds using Spartan which is a molecular modeling program.
